Hey Mudders,
Unfortunately, it is time that I get my 1983 HJ 47 Arkana to a better home. I don’t have much time these days to devote and I know there is someone who does and will love her like we have. She is also starting to get some body rust and while the frame is still perfect, she needs to...
Hey Everyone,
We are pulling two Toyota 2J engines in the next week out of our research boat here in NC to modernize the AC and hydraulic systems. Engines are low hours and were basically brand new from forklifts that the operator didn't like the diesel fumes so replaced with propane engines...
Hi All,
So I’ve been chipping away at my HJ47 Resto . The latest thing I thought I would share is the full front axle rebuilt, front disk and steering project. My friend Brendan at Performance Innovations in Wilmington NC Performance Innovations :: Performance Transmissions and Motorsports...
Hi have a set of sliding windows that came out of my HJ 47 crew cab. Assuming they would fit most models but if anyone is interested I can post some pics. Also have some custom made diamond seaglaze windows that are fixed (no slider) that fit as well?
So AATLAS1X turned me on to the trailer idea and has got me looking. I've seen some M105A's in my state on Government Liquidators. I haven't seen much on this forum on these trailers. Too big?
Seems like the M416's are the preferred for sure eh? We'll gonna give a go at government...
Hello All,
I've searched and searched and can not find the Toyota (or cross) part number for a 2H Thermostat and possibly water temp sender. Any help would be great on numbers or suppliers would be great. I'm going to complete a full coolant flush before I put in a restored heater box from...
Seems my HJ 47 has had some dodgy importing tricks associated with it. When I got my last inspection the engine type was marked as Diesel but the registration is Gas. Got this crazy phone call from the NCDOT inspections office about it and all the research they have been doing on this red...
I've been having some starting issues that tkorade and cruiser_guy, et.al helped me sort out which was my EDIC system. Pulled the control rod out and I'm back in business. Well, that was a month plus ago and have been trying to sort out this among other issues and no real resolution. One day...
Hello,
I have a 1983 2H diesel in an HJ47. Had to go on an emergency job out of town for less than 5 days and upon my return vehicle wont start. No signs of slow or no start prior. I’ve been trouble shooting for about a week now with little results. Previous owner mentioned that there...
Hi All,
After about two years of hard searching I've purchased a 1980 HJ 47 "crew cab" imported from the Aussie Mines. Ironically I found in my state (thanks Josh!!). I was hoping to connect with some of the HJ group to bounce around some ideas and get part numbers etc. From my limited...
Hi All,
After about two years of searching I found an HJ 47 "crew cab" pickup only 8 hours from my town! The vehicle was partially restored by Vintage Offroad (and thanks for the IH8 info there) so the paint and interior is really quite nice.
What I'm after now is the suspension and having...
